XMC-A825-16

16-Channel Isolated CAN / CAN FD / ARINC-825 XMC Board

The XMC-A825-16 board is a CAN / CAN FD / ARINC-825 16-Channel Board based on an XMC form factor. The board is 100% compliant with 2nd Generation CAN (ISO 11898-1). This board is superior to every other ARINC-825 board available today because it is truly isolated on every channel and uses licensed Bosch M_CAN controllers. This 16 Channel CAN board is The XMC-A825-16 is capable of BOTH receiving and transmitting on every channel at a full speed of 5 Mb/s and because of the XMC form factor, can be made compatible with almost any form factor whether it’s based on PCI or PCIe. In addition, this board has an enclosure option which will allow it to run in a stand-alone mode with up to 128GB of recording to a microSD (XC) card with communication done completely over Gigabit Ethernet with an RJ45 port. The physical connectors on the card include an RJ45 jack for Gigabit Ethernet and a VHD68 connector for the channel I/O.

In addition to the external RJ45 port, there is an Intel® Gigabit Ethernet controller onboard available over the XMC connector. When the board is installed on a carrier board, it will show up as an additional Ethernet controller using the standard PRO1000 drivers from Intel® and can be used without the external RJ45 port needed.

Firmware

Firmware developed by Stock Flight Systems

Stock Flight Systems is a world leader in CAN, CAN FD, CANaerospace and ARINC-825. This firmware has already powered our previous generation pmc825 4 channel board and our extremely successful CANFlight analyzer/generator. His firmware also powers our latest board and helps to offer the highest flexibility while maintaining broad compatibility with aerospace industry standards and requirements.

Breakout I/O Panel

This is a separate 19” tall rack mount I/O breakout panel which breaks down the VHD68 connector on the XMC-A825-16 card into 16 separate DB-9 connectors with activity LEDS for each channel. The panel was designed to make interfacing easier than ever. Part Number: TP9060-901

XCT Toolset

Using this card with the XCT toolset from Wetzel Technology, we provide not only previously unheard of hardware compatibility but also widespread Operating System compatibility. XCT is already available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris. There is also driver and API support for VxWorks in addition to Windows, Mac and Linux. This is the same software which is used for our PMC825 4-channel board and our CANflight 2 channel bus analyzer. There is no additional charge for XCT and a copy is provided with each compatible CANaerospace and ARINC-825 device we sell.

Enclosure

We offer a stand-alone aluminum flight test enclosure which is powered using 9-36V DC current and encloses the 16 Channel XMC card. This allows for hours of flight test recording with the same hardware. This can then be played back using XCT remotely or you can remove the microSD card and insert the media directly into a PC or another 16 channel ARINC-825 CANaerospace card.Part Number: TP9103-901

Carrier Cards

There are several options available for different form factor systems. This allows the same board to be mounted on a convertor card which makes this a much cheaper option than trying to layout the same card in several form factors. The carrier cards available directly from us include:

PXI/cPCI – This is a 32-bit 3U Compact PCI (cPCI) carrier card which also fits into a National Instruments PXI/PXIe Hybrid Chassis. (PXI Compatibility on request at no additional cost)Part Number: TP9151-901
